6 Watt Segmented Power Generator Modules using Bi 2 Te 3 and ( InGaAs ) 1 - x ( InAlAs ) x Elements Embedded with ErAs Nanoparticles
We report the fabrication and characterization of segmented element power generator modules of 16 x 16 thermoelectric elements consisting of 0.8 mm thick Bi2Te3 and 50 μm thick ErAs:(InGaAs)1-x(InAlAs)x with 0.6% ErAs by volume. Erbium Arsenide metallic nanoparticles are incorporated to create scattering centers for middle and long wavelength phonons, and to form local potential barriers for el...
متن کاملSelf-assembled ErAs islands in GaAs: Growth and subpicosecond carrier dynamics
We report the growth of self-assembled ErAs islands embedded in GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy. The nucleation of ErAs on GaAs occurs in an island growth mode leading to spontaneous formation of nanometer-sized islands. Several layers of ErAs islands separated by GaAs can be stacked on top of each other to form a superlattice. X-ray diffraction shows superlattice fringes from such samples. Pump...
متن کاملUltrafast carrier dynamics in an InAs/InGaAs quantum dots-in-a-well heterostructure.
Ultrafast differential transmission spectroscopy is used to explore temperature-dependent carrier dynamics in an InAs/InGaAs quantum dots-in-a-well heterostructure. Electron-hole pairs are optically injected into the three dimensional GaAs barriers, after which we monitor carrier relaxation into the two dimensional InGaAs quantum wells and the zero dimensional InAs quantum dots by tuning the pr...
متن کاملTime-resolved photoluminescence of type-II Ga(As)Sb/GaAs quantum dots embedded in an InGaAs quantum well.
Optical properties and carrier dynamics in type-II Ga(As)Sb/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in an InGaAs quantum well (QW) are reported. A large blueshift of the photoluminescence (PL) peak is observed with increased excitation densities. This blueshift is due to the Coulomb interaction between physically separated electrons and holes characteristic of the type-II band alignment, along with a ...
متن کاملCarrier dynamics in p-type InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots
In this study we investigate the carrier relaxation dynamics in p-type doped InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots using time-integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence. The experiment shows that while a strong phonon bottleneck is observed in the undoped samples, with a 680 ps rise time of the photoluminescence intensity, the intra-dot relaxation time (31 ps) of the p-type doped samples is reduced sign...
